    Those fans have already turned on him to some degree, so nothing lost at this point.

    A lot more will turn on him if we give up a generational talent to appease him for a couple 1st rd exits.

    That's fine. But it needs to make sense.

    I don't find a boiler-plate statement from Cronin to be very persuasive, one way or the other

    of course, I never expected any resolution to this situation at the end of June

    We're going to make the playoffs if we do nothing else, as long as we don't get the injury bug, or if coaching gets in the way.

    Those people are foolish; I'm not worried about them.

    by the way, I find it next to impossible to believe Portland has a chance to sign Draymond. He'd have to absolutely love the idea of playing with Dame because signing in Portland could cost him 30-40M

    Would you guess most people under-estimate the work that goes into making a decent podcast?

    Just watched your video on Draymond. He would be the ultimate acquisition… give a legitimate chance to win now and doesn’t cost us Scoot or Sharpe. It would be the ultimate home run off-season… unfortunately I just can’t see Warriors helping us with a deal.

    1. A willing 3rd team
    2. Draymond to want it
    3. Portland and Golden St front offices to kiss and make up

    naw. Green turned down dollars so he could sign he cheap to play next to the dame dolla.

    Absolutely. But I'm not the best person to ask because I'll spend too much time trying to go over the top to make something like this:

    Luckily I'll have a well-paying job doing this stuff for other creators soon! Because I'm as passionate about the graphics as I am anything else.

    You think he'd sign for the MLE?

    Congrats on the job... this sports thing is fun (and frustrating), but that real world stuff actually matters.

    Yeah, I was probably making your point for you. I was trying to think it out in my head as I went!

    I tend to agree Wiz but I could see a scenario S & T -- Green for Nurk and Knox and the warriors getting a couple of there 2nds back from GP trade too -- I could see Green signing for a little less like 22 to 25m for a couple years I mean Green has made a boat load of money in the league so I doubt money is like a super deciding factor for him. I am not saying it will happen or should happen but I could see it happen considering the team MUST do some things to try and keep Dame from bolting.
